I am a reasonably experienced shooter who shoots well enough to know when he doesn't shoot well enough so to speak.
That being said traditional wisdom is a good single action trigger is almost always a boon to shooting accurately and is much easier to teach new folks with.
So why is it I can't shoot a single action automatic worth a spit? I pulled out the ole' 1911 this weekend and once again confirmed that I shoot a good double action trigger much better and much more naturally then a single action trigger. The gun in question is a box stock Colt 1911, so the trigger is good, not match/custom good but by no means bad.
At any rate I am just thinking out loud. Anybody else find that they fly in the face of accepted logic.
I do ok with Glock' safe action and Springfield's XD long single action but give me a 1911 or a Highpower trigger and my brain, finger and eyes become distant cousins at best. I also have a hard time with the newer generation of light double actions, even though they are Glock like in functioning.
Give me a good smooth double action any day.
Chris the only gunny who doesn't shoot 1911s well and never has liked the Hi-Power, or the heretic for short.
